Synopsis

Jill's life lost all meaning when her dad died. Friends, boyfriend, college – nothing matters any more. Then her mom drops a bombshell: she's going to adopt a baby. Mandy is desperate for her life to change. Seventeen, pregnant and leaving home, she is sure of only one thing – her baby must never have a life like hers, whatever it takes. As their worlds change around them, Jill and Mandy must learn both how to hold on and how to let go, finding that nothing is as easy - or as difficult - as it seems. Heart-achingly beautiful, moving and funny, How to Save a Life has been named a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2011, a School Library Journal Best Book of 2011 and an American Library Assocation 2012 Top Ten Best Fiction for Young Adults. "A rich tapestry of love and survival that will resonate with even the most cynical readers." - Booklist

    It is late July in 1461 when young Joseph Charnetski and his family arrive in the great city of Krakow, with its glorious church towers and lively marketplace. The Charnetskis have come to Krakow to seek refuge with their relatives. What they find is more danger and adventure than a simple farm boy like Joseph could ever have imagined. First, a menacing stranger tries to take their pumpkin at sword point. Then a beautiful girl and her black-robed uncle befriend Joseph. Soon he and his family are caught up in the plots of alchemists, hypnotists, and a dark messenger of evil. This distinguished contribution to children’s literature carries listeners to a medieval Poland shimmering with folklore and fantasy. Rich in language and detail, it is a classic adventure story that begs to be read aloud. With narrator Ron Keith’s expressive, resonant voice, the effect is as stirring as the haunting hymn the trumpeter plays from the church tower.

    Do your kids love adventure stories? 
    Do they want to explore new cultures? 
    Are you looking for something you know is family-friendly? 
    Then you'll love The Sundial Odysseys... 
    Similar to books like I Survived, A to Z Mysteries, and The Magic Treehouse, The Sundial Odysseys take you on quirky adventures through the past, where historical figures who shaped the world we live in today receive help from three young cousins. 
    Amelia, Dave, and Luther's grandfather is the world's most famous explorer; and the kids are about to find out why. When they knock over his antique sundial one afternoon, they're suddenly transported to the other side of the world…and 3,000 years into the past. 
    They find themselves in a dangerous and strange world. Everyone carries a spear, and dresses in bed sheets; there are enemies at every turn. No one can tell them how they got there, or how to get back. Soon they're accused of being spies and taken captive. To make matters worse, the sundial is now counting down their time left, and that it's running out fast. 
    Can the kids figure out how to get back home, or will they be trapped in the past? 
    Join Amelia, Dave, and Luther in the first Sundial Odyssey, The Desert Queen, a family friendly adventure exploring cultures through history.
